Pediatric Services within the Sutter Health network

Expert Care for Kids

Infancy, childhood and adolescence are incredibly important periods in healthy
development. As a parent, you can assist your child during these exciting, and sometimes
challenging years, by working closely with your pediatrician to establish healthy
behaviors, follow preventive care guidelines and manage common illnesses and injuries.

Primary care pediatricians affiliated with Sutter Medical Foundation offer a full
range of services, from newborn care and well-child visits to immunizations. At Sutter
Amador Hospital, doctors in our Emergency Department can see your child for emergency
care, and we also provide pediatric inpatient care as needed.

Additionally, if your child requires further assessment or more focused care, your
pediatrician will partner with a specialist who can oversee your child's specific
medical needs. Pediatric specialists throughout the Sutter Health network have advanced
training and expertise to diagnose and treat the full range of childhood illnesses
and conditions. The pediatric specialist and primary care teams collaborate to provide
coordinated, comprehensive care that not only addresses specific medical issues but
also supports the overall health of your child's growing mind and body.

Pediatricians across the Sutter Health network consistently earn honors for their
quality of care by organizations including the California Association of Physician
Groups and the Integrated Healthcare Association.

Child and adolescent health research covers a broad category of work that looks at
